Had to remove my stat charm and replace with HM... works better @ higher levels.


why don't u buy a better robe whit EE? u gonna survive more that's for sure..
Playing whit a lvl20 won't get u anywhere.. that's like playing whit an unspawn @ lvl 30..

How can you say it is safe than before... here is what I mean...

Before: if 2 ppl are in cata at the end, and one leaves, it will automatically kick the remaining person from the catacomb
Update: if 2 ppl are in cata at the end, and one leaves, you are stuck to handle what there is in catacombs as you do NOT automatically get kicked from the catacomb

So... you are telling me that everyone should just take care of themselves... NEVER be the last 2 in catacomb, do NOT heal the last person (including you) in catacomb.

Yes... it is our Niavity that leads us to our doom... even in Softcore I have been a prime example of trying to keep the other person alive while sacrificing my own safety... thus I have come to one conclusion with update... "I come first... and forget the rest"


He should have kicked the other guy and left.
Or left, if ppl go afk in hc they deserve to die imo..

You are right at this. But now I say it's more safe than Arena used to be. This topic is about solo, right? And I said, solo is really safe. Max EP is 3 and if you play solo you can easily leave to town on time. Ofc you might need more life and def, but still if you stay in black it's really safe.

As for group, I died, because I waited too long time after EP appeared. If I even left first, but at the very beginning, no one would RIP.

Seems like you never played HC catacombs, because something like "afk" doesn't exist there. Everyone pays attention.

Concerning solo play; ep at lvl 70 dropped legendary tier XIII armor.; nothing special but its rather optimistic for some dedicated soloers:D

i have not said one thing on the forum on this update "did alot of bitching in game though LOL" but heres my 2 cents after 3 or 4 climbs.

yes solo is pointless and risky, SO DONT DO IT
i hate it as much as you i loved arena. but im adapting.


The way to play Ladder slasher now is have 2-3 characters all randomly climbing at differant lvls, when no group is available check on another char.
i am using 2 chars and i have been getting groups about 90% of the time i log in
you need multiple sets of things for certain unlockable class's anyways, most people already have a weller.

Now that it has been a little while since the new update, there have been some minor improvements.

1. Drops are equal to whence we played Arena... but not as many drops
2. Experience has been explained by Paul in a previous post...

I have been testing solo a bit more lately (because my timeframe) and I still find it better to:
1. Use Hybrid and 1 HM item
2. Never enter a TD... Reason: In TD, monsters are harder and yeild a slight bit more xp, whereas not entering a TD yeilds faster killspeed and faster experience overall
3. If you are only wanting to get to MQ, then do NOT explore the maze, this is also faster xp

Note: it is faster to get XP solo compared to joining up with 1 more person (2 man group). When in a 3 man group, you have a little bit more xp gain, but drops are better, choose for yourselves.

Things have changed for the better since this update was introduced.
